Donald Dean Ratterree, Sr

Donald Dean Ratterree, Sr. “Don Sr.”, tragically passed away Saturday, November 5, 2022 at his Fredericksburg home with his wife and son by his

side.

Don Sr. was born on January 29th, 1943 in Mountain Grove, Missouri to the late Levi Ratterree and Doris Ratterree. He grew up in a large family with 1

older brother, Junior Ratterree and two younger brothers- Thomas and Terry Ratterree. He graduated from Cabool High School and served his country

proudly in the United States Navy from 1960 to 1966.

Don Sr. made a lasting impression on the Real Estate community where he has been serving the needs of many for over 50 years. He built a solid reputation

of being known as an honest and reputable real estate professional and his expertise and devotion to the Virginia Real Estate community will leave a

lasting effect for years to come.

In his spare time, Don enjoyed fishing, spending time with family, and praising the lord. With a commitment to service and helping others, he found

joy in giving back to the homeless and to those that needed help the most. He was always willing to lend a helping hand, word, or prayer to anyone in need. He knew that life had challenges, he had compassion on those that found themselves in difficult situations. His goal was to always make them feel

like there was hope and that homeownership was within their reach- no matter what. He kept his family, community, and clients' best interest at the center

of every decision he made.

He is survived by his wife, Midge Ratterree; four children Don Jr. Ratterree (Amanda), Berna Petry (Billy), Sherry Daminski, and Craig Ratterree (Alicia);

eight grandchildren; and 14 great-grandchildren whom he loved and cared for dearly.

His family is sincerely grateful to those that have provided prayers and words of comfort during this time of loss.

The family will receive friends from 6 to 8 p.m. on Wednesday, November 16, 2022 at Covenant Funeral Service, Stafford. A service will be held at 10:30

a.m. on Thursday, November 17, 2022 at the funeral home chapel. Interment will be held privately.
